With the anniversary of Pearl Harbor marks the beginning of the longest reign of military oppression over American citizens in our nation's history. After the Japanese air raid, the U.S. Constitution was suspended and martial law was declared on December 7th, 1941. It was only supposed to last for "about 30 days" but dragged on for nearly 3 years -- well past what the governor had agreed to.
Civilians lost all freedoms and could be held by the military, indefinitely, without charges or trial. The military imposed heavy censorship, shut down newspapers, took over radio stations, read all outgoing mail, screened long-distance phone calls, and restricted travel.
Everyone above the age of 6 was forced to be registered and fingerprinted, and carry around military-issued ID cards. Prices were controlled, wages were controlled, money was confiscated, access to bank accounts was restricted.
American soldiers confiscated civilian weapons, imposed curfews, imprisoned people because of their speech or skin color, and arrested people for crimes like lighting a cigarette inside a private home after dark. In fact, the islands were under strict "blackout" orders and any lights turned on after dark resulted in fines or imprisonment -- or the confiscation of blood.
A federal judge said: “The Army went beyond the governor and set up that which was lawful only in conquered enemy territory… they threw the Constitution into the discard and set up a military dictatorship.”
